TraceRide — the digital vehicle logbook for maintenance, costs, and history.

TraceRide is a vehicle logbook I founded and build. It documents a vehicle’s entire lifecycle – maintenance, repairs, refuelling, trips, mileage, costs, photos, and receipts – in the cloud, and therefore on every device. Owners see at a glance what is due next and can share the history selectively, for example as a public vehicle page when selling.

My contribution

I am responsible for TraceRide from product idea to delivery: product design, domain model, and architecture, plus implementation as lead developer – from the backend and web app to the Android release on Google Play and the billing model.

Architecture approach

One Angular codebase ships as a web app, as an installable PWA, and, through a Trusted Web Activity, as an Android app. The backend consists of Azure Functions in C#; business data lives in Azure Cosmos DB, photos and receipts in Azure Blob Storage, and sign-in runs through Azure AD B2C.

The vehicle is the central domain object: events, documents, costs, trips, and maintenance status make up its history. The maintenance module defines tasks in a catalogue by system and component and schedules them by interval or trigger; the health status is derived from that. Older records are migrated automatically to the current maintenance model. Private, shared, and public are deliberately separate visibility concepts.
